5. Always cover the battery terminals with the

battery cover when the battery cartridge is not

used.

6. Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1) Do not touch the terminals with any

conductive material.

(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container

with other metal objects such as nails, coins,

A battery short can cause a large current flow,

overheating, possible burns and even a

breakdown.

7. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in

locations where the temperature may reach or

exceed 50°C (122°F).

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged. Always stop tool operation and

charge the battery cartridge when you notice less

tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room

temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot

battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4. Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge

when you do not use it for more than six months.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or

checking function on the tool.

Installing or removing battery cartridge

(Fig. 1)

• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of

the battery cartridge.

• To remove the battery cartridge, pull out the set plate

on the tool and grasp both sides of the cartridge while

withdrawing it from the tool.

• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the

battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip

it into place. Snap the set plate back into place. Be sure

to close the set plate fully before using the tool to

prevent the battery cartridge from accidentally falling

out of the tool.

• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If

the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being

inserted correctly.

Switch action (Fig. 2)

CAUTION:

• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,

always check to see that the switch trigger actuates

properly and returns to the “OFF” position when

released.

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed

is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.

Release the switch trigger to stop.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 3)

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of

rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the A side for

clockwise rotation or the B side for counterclockwise

rotation.

When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,

the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

CAUTION:

• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.

• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a

complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation

before the tool stops may damage the tool.

• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing

switch lever to the neutral position.

Speed change (Fig. 4)

To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then

slide the speed change lever to the “II” side for high speed

or “I” side for low speed. Be sure that the speed change

lever is set to the correct position before operation. Use

the right speed for your job.

CAUTION:

• Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct

position. If you operate the tool with the speed change

lever positioned halfway between the “I” side and “II”

side, the tool may be damaged.

• Always make sure that the gear is engaged properly by

running the tool under no load after sliding the speed

change lever to the desired speed position. If you

operate the tool with the gear engaged improperly, the

tool may be damaged.

• Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is

running. The tool may be damaged.

Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 5)

For model 6019D only

The fastening torque can be adjusted in 6 steps by turning

the adjusting ring so that its graduations are aligned with

the pointer on the tool body. The fastening torque is

minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the pointer,

and maximum when the marking is aligned with the

pointer.

The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at the

number 1 to 5. The clutch is designed not to slip at the

marking.

Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your

material or a piece of duplicate material to determine

which torque level is required for a particular application.

I keep stripping the screw head when using the drill-driver. Why is that? Verified

Most drill-drivers can be set to screw harder or softer. If the head keeps being stripped, the drill-driver should probably be put into a different setting. When it is a wireless device, always be sure the battery is charged for an optimal result.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
